You remember what a Vega, Pinto, Maverick, and Duster looks like. Not to mention a Germlin and the worlds famous Pacer.

What's worse is you can remember your family or neighbors having one..!

You'd go to the video store and rent a VCR to watch the movies you just rented and the thing weighed 240 lbs, it took forever to figure out how to hook it up, and the door popped out the top.

People dressed up like the band members in KISS and it didn't seem so pathetic.

The tv isn't coming in so good...go out and turn the antenna...

$1.00 would keep you entertained.

Fonzie wasn't old, Ritchie wasn't bald, but Malph was still annoying.

What's a video game?

Toys required an imagination.

The latest computer game was a text game. Wait, you can play games on a computer..?

Merlin was state of the art technology.

"Freakies" cereal.

Keith Partridge really was cool.

One of these days I'm gonna get a transistor radio.

Prayer in school.

Girls dressed modestly (I really miss that one).

Hank Aaron.

There were no tornado sirens so you didn't know you were supposed to be scared.

Disco wasn't a fad.

Dallas....Who shot J.R.?

Cokes came it glass bottles.

A candy bar was .10 cents.

Asbestos..!

Big Wheels were the sports cars of 10 year olds.

AM radio.

UHF never came in as good as VHF

TBS was still a local station.

Greg Brady's clothes were in style.

you're having casual conversation about various topics with coworkers or younger relatives and you use the phrase 'when I was your age.' I've actually caught myself doing this with a 25 year old coworker and my kid sister who is only 21. lol

Or how about "We didn't have toys like that when I was a kid."

Or "I never had a cell phone.."

When you can remember to put your teeth in the jar, but forgot where you put the jar...

When AARP starts sending you pamphlets...

Wow, you've got cable..?!

21 channels WAS a big deal...

There was regular AND unleaded...

You start taking your wardrobe ideas from Barney Fife...

You're reminicing with your parent's friends...

The "hip" generation is now holding the door open for you...

I think I've got a new gray hair..

I know i am getting old when I look at somepost by younger CF'ers and think....
"Wait until you're older and you have experienced life - then see if you feel the same way."

I know my mom told me that when i was in my late teens/early twenties and i thought, "whatever"! LOL Boy, the joke was on me.

STARINELSON · Jun 29, 2005

When you're rocking children... whose parents you USED to rock !! lol

When you get frustrated at something and want to pull your hair out, but it all fell out 25 years ago.

And by the time you remember where it is, you're too tired to get up and get it. Not that it matters 'cause by now you've forgotten what it was you couldn't find.
